Make Like a Tree & Danya Alshevsky - Piano (Russia)

I wrote this song in a beautiful beach of Bali and then never had a chance to record it. Finally after playing it in many shows i made the final recording of it in Zanzibar in my home portable studio. This song is about a traveller who had a dream to see the center of the South Pole. He goes on a solo risky journey with dozen of dogs and in his pocket he has a photo of the girl who he is in love with. When the weather is extremely bad and everything goes wrong he takes out the picture and while he looks at the picture it makes him feel better and motivates him to move on. The trip goes really tough for him and due to the lack of food he starts eating his dogs one by one. He does not want to stop his journey and by the time he finally reaches the center of the South Pole he is alone because he had to eat all his dogs. He does not have enough food to survive on the way back but he is not giving up and trying to get to the civilization totally exhausted and starving. The only thing that keeps him alive is a picture of the girl that he is constantly looking at and it gives him power. When he is almost about to die from exhaustion he eats the picture of the girl and with a final effort he manages to reach the shelter and survive. Danya Alshevsky who helped me to make this song more moody and deep is a frontman of a russian band Hyggelig. We met in december 2012 exactly at the day when everyone was announcing that it's gonna be the end of the world. It was in his snowy town Nizhny Novgorod and we played a show together and who knows maybe we were the ones who saved the world with music. I'm a big fan of Hyggelig band and making a collaboration with Danya was a big pleasure for me.
